Took a week off during the year and with the wife travelled down to the magical southcoast, Yallingup, Meelup, Bunkers and South Point. Here are some photo's. Hope you enjoy them

On the road again


Ahh Yallingup..beautiful


Yals was nice and clean.

Meelup was tiny the day before the storm



Meelup the next day

The farm was closing down a bit so we headed for Cowaramup


Checking the surf


Checking who is checking the surf


Huzza's was cool


I use the 11'2'' for flat water and the 10'14'' for the surf


On the 10'14''

Backup crew and cook extraordinare


South point, getting rides right down into the bay.


Missy can't drive, she isn't 17 yet


South point was smoking


Stoned man

Yallingup was like Waimea Bay
Time for a sausage, a cold beer and thank God for a great trip

Nice photos elbeau, I'll have to look those places up on google maps, haven't really heard of them. I'd love to spend more time in WA sometime. What happened to the guys face in the 4th photo? Road trauma is such an issue in Australia.

That looked like greenroom in one of the photos.

Yeah look sorry about the quality. I can only describe it for you I suppose. Sort of rugged good looks, George Cloonyish some might say,

Great pics, must have been a big swell to get meelup cranking.. Once seen an 8ft mako get caught out from meelup boat ramp, as they were trying to bring it in, with a rope tied around its tail and a 4wd dragging it up the boat ramp it was thrashing and biting the edge of the concrete boat ramp, scary Yup ,making me home sick seen shots of the south west. Oliver the spots in the pic are of some of (if not) the best surf region in Australia, Margaret River By the way guys we have 10acres with a house for sale in between Margies and Augusta, right near the awesome karri forest and the classic beach break Boranup If any one is keen to buy, hit me up

Aww now thats teasing. We have to get through summer before we see that sort of swell happen again.
Great picks but. Would love to have seen Bears on those days.

Geezus I'm homesick....nothing better than coming round the corner to Cowarumup and seeing lines stack to the horizonD

I'm heading down to "sunny" Albany over xmas if anyone else is down that way and wants to catch up for a wave. With wife,kid,dog etc in tow there might be room left for you in the trailer if you want Thelma, I mean Windy.
